It's time to put on our finest tuxedos and gowns and prepare our acceptance speeches. Devaughn leads the crew in looking back at the horror movies that should have been nominated at the Academy Awards. While the Oscars have never been particularly kind to the horror genre (recent wins from Sinners & Weapons notwithstanding) there have been plenty of genre films more than worthy of awards love and respect. We go through the major categories (performer, director, best picture, score) along with a slew of other worthy categories with our picks. Like what you hear?

This week we wrap up Insidious with our rankings of the six (to date) entries. Will Mike & Nichole's anti Patrick Wilson bias shine through, or will Ariel's enthusiasm for tapioca in human form offset us? Plus, more talk about dogs in trench coats, where the series should head next, and debate on whether Mike could take Wilson (or anyone else) in fisticuffs. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
